Registering a Host Data Collector computer on the management server

If Host Data Collector is installed on a computer other than the management server, you need to add

the information for that computer to the properties in the hostdatacollectors.properties file

on the Device Manager server.

When the information for the Host Data Collector computer is registered on the management server,

you can register hosts and check the volume usage on each host.

Operations to complete in advance

• Logging in with administrator permissions (for Windows) or as a root user (for Linux)

• Installing P9000 Command View AE Suite on the management server

• Installing Host Data Collector on a host

NOTE:

To manage virtualization servers, you need to install Host Data Collector on a Windows computer.

Information to collect in advance

• Information for the computer where Host Data Collector is installed

• IP address or host name

• Port number of the Web server (when managing normal hosts or virtual machines)

The default is 23051/tcp.

• Port number of the RMI registry (when managing virtualization servers)

You can check this value by using the hdc.common.rmi.registryPort and hdc.com-

mon.rmi.ssl.registryPort properties in the hdcbase.properties file.

• Port number of the RMI server (when managing virtualization servers)

You can check this value by using the hdc.common.rmi.serverPort and hdc.com-

mon.rmi.ssl.serverPort properties in the hdcbase.properties file.

• Port number of the class loader (when managing virtualization servers)

You can check this value by using the hdc.common.http.serverPort and hdc.com-

mon.https.serverPort properties of the hdcbase.properties file.

To register a Host Data Collector computer on the management server:

1. Stop the services of P9000 Command View AE Suite product.

In Windows:

Select Start > All Programs > HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite > Manage

Services > Stop.

In Linux:

installation-directory-for-Common-Component/bin/hcmdssrv -stop
